Expert-Led Training: Proven Methods, Real Transformations

Fitness is useful for all dogs, but especially for those participating in training and competition in performance sports. Working through a complete fitness workout regularly can positively impact cardiovascular fitness, address flexibility, and add power in muscles which can improve speed. Having improved muscle strength can also help stabilize joints and may help prevent injury.

This course outlines the foundation training program developed by the instructor, Sara Brueske. This program was developed with experience training many different breeds and ages of dog to successful careers in the sports of canine disc, agility, obedience, and dock diving as well as professional trick dogs.

Open Obedience Foundation Fun!

Did you know that the MOST important time in a dog's early career in Nosework happens AFTER they learn target odor (as in NW101) and BEFORE they start their general searching? Making mistakes now are costly. In this transition time, the dog (and handler) learns searching habits, passive indication, precision, consistency, and the ability to work in new and novel locations. THIS class forms the initial foundation to get you off onto the right track. Without these skills, a team may suffer from missed hides and false alerts and their ability to move up the levels successfully may be hampered.
